WOMAN KILLED IN CRASH NEAR VIRDEN
A 20-year-old woman was killed when a car crossing the Trans-Canada Highway collided with a pickup truck near Virden on Friday.
RCMP were sent to the crash northwest of the town at 10:10 a.m. Police said in a news release Tuesday that investigators believe the car was travelling south on Highway 83 when it collided with a truck headed west on the Trans-Canada.
The driver of the car was the lone occupant. She was transported to hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The 74-year-old driver of the pickup truck, who was also the lone occupant, was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Virden RCMP, with the assistance of an RCMP traffic analyst, continue to investigate.
